• UP Completion/Removal Form (PDF) Note that the auto-completion features of this form work only for Acrobat Reader version 4. (Here is a local copy of the Acrobat 4.0 Installer for Windows XP.) It seems that Adobe changed the PDF specs for versions 5 and 6 of their reader. If you have any ideas on how I can fix this, drop me a line. Disclaimer: This was just a small project I did to learn how to do auto-completion using Latex and pdflatex. Use at your own risk. :)
• Latex Seminar slides (PDF). This was primarily for the CS 198 students of our department. Here is the Latex demo file used as an example, and here is the PDF file generated from that demo file. This is the sample Bibtex file.
• Zipped file of the CS 198 Proposal Template.
• Short Course in Latex Notes (PDF) by Tobias Oetiker
